I think I disagree about the ultimate fate of Pocahontas's people, and Malick's conclusion about them. After all, she has a son who lives. He's the future. I think Pocahontas and Rolfe's relationship is meant to show what a good encounter between unlike peoples could be, so my reading of the film's ending is more optimistic, I suppose.

I don't understand the use of "Old World" music & orchestration as background sounds for a film about the "New World". Surely there is wood-wind music that would be more appropriate and mood-setting for this other-wise excellent presentation of old world meeting new (older) world.
I just don't "get it"! PS - There never was a romantic relationship between Captain Smith and Pocahontas (she related to him as her surrogate father who left the settlement without telling her good bye).

Is this like about Christopher Columbus?

My god, what a stupid and boring movie this is.
